How to Use Word Counter
- Type or paste your text into the main editor area.
- The tool instantly calculates the number of words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs.
- It also estimates how long it would take an average person to read the text.
How it Works
The tool uses Regular Expressions (Regex) in Javascript to split strings at word boundaries and punctuation marks. It strips whitespace to give accurate character counts and uses standard algorithms (e.g. ~200 words per minute) to estimate reading time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it count spaces as characters?
It provides both metrics: total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces, which is often required for strict character limits on social media.
